Hi everyone.
We needed to implement some last minute features and fixes for the=20
upcoming 1.7 version, hence the delay in the release. The last minute=20
changes included:
* Some minor bug fixes
* Opera 8 + KHTML (Safari, konqueror) rendering errors
* Minor feature updates / additions
* Enhanced email localization:
You can now add any %variable% to the email template, giving you=20
much, much greater control of the email notifications. The variables=20
should be self-explaning, and are:
subject:
%bug_id%
%bug_title%
=20
message:
%bug_id%
%bug_title%
%bug_link%
%app_name%
%pct_complete%
%user_uname% (assigned)
%user_realname% (assigned)
%dup_bug% (Duplicate bug number - returns '0' if not set)
%bug_desc% - bug long description
%bug_status%
%bug_sev%
%bug_prio%
%bug_cat%
%bug_milestone%
%bug_comment%
%bug_link%
%bug_dup_link%
This last code-a-thon has delayed the release a bit, but seeing as this=20
will most likely be the last 1.x release, we wanted to make this release=20
as solid as possible. All changes are commited to CVS, but will not be=20
released as an RC. Please watch this space for release information.
Thanks!
